List of all Olympic weightlifters who recorded 500kg total of 3 lifts (press, snatch, clean-and-jerk) prior to elimination of the Olympic press lift in 1972
Notes:
- Based on data from the list “Club 500 kg” by Peter Kravtsov and on the lists by Christian Ösch (found by Mikko Korhonen) and Karl Adolf Scherer; reconstructed and augmented by Vilmos Zoller in 2017. Compiled and developed as a tool by Arthur Chidlovski in 2018;
- # – Rank, YOB – Athlete’s year of birth, CTR – Athlete’s country, BWT – Bodyweight or weight class (kg), PR – Press lift(kg), SN – Snatch lift (kg); CJ – clean-and-jerk lift (kg), Host – Location where the total was recorded;
Is that right that Phil Grippaldi totaled 527.5 in the 110-kilogram weight class in 1972? His usual weight class, and the one in which he competed in the Munich pre-Olympic meet, Senior Nationals, and Olympics in 1972, was 90 kilograms. He set an American record total of 1120 pounds in that weight class in spring, a record that was broken at the Senior Nationals by Rick Holbrook.
Hi Victor! Good question – I’ll look into this and/or ask experts on U.S. weightlifting on their take on this.
